The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

open!

The first treasure chest opened, but... instead of equipment, it contained skill books.

Yeah.

Lin Yuan picked up the skill book, and the relevant information immediately popped up.

[Skill Book: Gale (Rank A, Bound)] Teaches you how to use Gale.

[Whirlwind (Rank A)] Unleashes a hurricane in front of you, lifting all targets into the air, dealing 10000 damage, and causing them to lose control for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

After a moment of surprise, Lin Yuan immediately showed a look of delight.

A control skill, and it's an area-of-effect control skill!

He was just feeling that he lacked control skills when, unexpectedly, he found a perfect solution.

OK OK.

In comparison, the 1 points of damage from the Gale Force is negligible.

Yes, the damage is considerable now, but as Lin Yuan's level increases, it will gradually become insignificant.

Even if it involves harm to the entire group.

Also, what does it mean that this skill can be used without a weapon?

Weapon effects cannot be triggered.

In comparison, although the sweeping attack deals ridiculously low damage, only 200 points, it requires a weapon to use, which means that weapon effects can be triggered. Therefore, the power of this fixed-damage skill itself is negligible, but because it can trigger weapon effects, it is still worth using. Even if Lin Yuan reaches level 100 or 200, as long as the weapon still has effects, it can still play a significant role.

It's okay, at least the 10000 damage from Whirlwind is high enough now.

Lin Yuan's hand reached for the second silver treasure chest.

open.

Wait, it's not equipment again?

Is the drop rate of equipment from treasure chests really that low? I've gotten so many before, it was just my imagination.

Thinking about it again, it seems that the higher the level of the treasure chest, the lower the chance of getting equipment.

He opened 5 gold chests, but only 3 of them yielded equipment.

It's even worse now; neither of the two silver treasure chests gives you any equipment.

What is this?

Lin Yuan picked up a piece of parchment; it was... a map.

[Map: Misty Woods (Consumable, Bound)] This will teleport you to the Misty Woods. You can stay there for 24 hours, after which you will be automatically teleported back. You cannot return to the Misty Woods while there. Monster spawn rate in the Misty Woods is increased by 100 times, and several Silver-level bosses will spawn. Monster levels are 51-60, with a very low chance of spawning a level 80 Gold-level boss. If you die in the Misty Woods, you can resurrect in the designated graveyard, but you will lose all experience and your level will decrease by 1.

This is great stuff!

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

He had heard that there was a place in the game called a "secret realm," but it was normally impossible to enter. In such a secret realm, the monster respawn rate and drop rate would be greatly increased.

Now he understood that he needed to use this special tool to teleport in.

Monsters level 51 to 60?

Lin Yuan smiled confidently. Although his current attributes were not as good as those of players with full level 80 gold gear, the gap should not be too big. However, in terms of special effects power, he was definitely superior. As for skills, he really didn't think there were many players below level 100 who could compare with him.

Therefore, killing monsters below level 60 would be a piece of cake for him.

So what if it has true essence attributes?

Once your strength surpasses the threshold, you can smash through any defense, including your true essence and physique!

Shall we teleport into the map now and begin?

This trip will last 24 hours, and I won't be back until tomorrow night. Will I still have time to farm Thousand Feather Canyon the day after tomorrow?

However, the instance is there and it won't run away, so it's okay to run it a day later. I've already told Su Yunmeng and the others, so I'll let them know first. I believe they are reasonable people.

Lin Yuan regrouped Su Yunmeng and the others through his friend list. After everyone joined the group, he said, "I have something to do, so I might not be able to run Thousand Feather Canyon the day after tomorrow, but I'll definitely be able to by the day after that at the latest."

"Are you in trouble? Do you need help?" Su Yunmeng and the others asked almost simultaneously.

Lin Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and said, "I didn't encounter any trouble. I just got a secret realm teleportation map and plan to go and farm it first."

"Wow, a map to a secret realm!"

Su Yunmeng and the twins both screamed exaggeratedly.

"Is it a reward for a gold rating?" Cheng Sizhe asked excitedly. "This is a great thing. The monsters in the secret realm respawn very quickly, and there are also bosses to fight. Although the difficulty is lower than that of normal wild bosses, the drops are the same."

Lin Yuan then followed his words and said, "Yes, it's a reward from the gold rating."

"Sigh, it seems only you, Brother Lin, have it; none of the rest of us have it," Cheng Sizhe said regretfully.

Su Yunmeng and Han Ming were even more unhappy, not because they had lost the opportunity to gain experience and fight the BOSS, but because they could no longer fight alongside Lin Yuan.

If I also had a map of the secret realm, wouldn't I be able to spend 24 hours alone with Lin Yuan?

That would be wonderful!

After informing them, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate any longer. He slapped the map against his chest, and with a whoosh, a beam of light enveloped him. Then, he vanished from the spot.

Swish!

The instant he disappeared, a figure stepped into the dormitory, the walls seemingly invisible, offering no obstruction whatsoever.

Qian Zhongxun!

"Huh, I clearly felt the fluctuations of space tearing just now!" The old man coughed repeatedly, looking extremely weak. He closed his eyes, seemingly pondering something, or perhaps trying to grasp something. After a while, he suddenly realized, "Heh, this kid's lucky; he got his hands on a map of the secret realm!"

"However, even the lowest-level secret realm map is level 50 or higher. How did this kid get in?"

"It doesn't matter, every genius has secrets."

The old man coughed again, then took a step forward, and his figure disappeared instantly.

……

Lin Yuan felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in a forest, but he could only see about 5 meters ahead. Beyond that, there was only a thick white fog that he could not penetrate.

To Lin Yuan's surprise, a holographic map appeared in front of him!

There's a small green dot on the map, that should be him, currently located in the bottom right corner of the map. The map also shows: There are 2 hours and 34 minutes left until the Silver BOSS Forest Walker spawns.

Then, below this prompt, there is a second line of text.

Current number of players: 4.

Wait, there are three other players besides him!

Lin Yuan thought about it and decided he had no interest in meeting these three. Of course, if the BOSS spawned and competition arose, he would not hold back.

When it's time to fight, we must fight!

Unless the other party can offer a treasure chest in exchange, he wouldn't mind giving up the BOSS—it should at least be a silver treasure chest.

With a treasure chest, everything is fine.

"Roar!" With a loud roar, a cheetah pounced out of the bushes.

Lin Yuan immediately thrust his sword forward.

-1802.

-9902.

-899.

To his surprise, three numbers suddenly appeared above the cheetah's head, and he also saw a health bar.

This!
